What's wrong with small tiles on a kitchen backsplash: a designer explains
An apron is not only a piece of clothing worn by cooks.
The tiled section of the wall between the countertop and kitchen cabinets has a similar name.
In many cases, the kitchen backsplash is presented in the form of tiles.
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti in the field of design and interior, emphasizes: it is desirable that these tiles be large.
But you shouldn’t use small tiles or mosaics to decorate the walls in the kitchen.
What's wrong with small tiles in the kitchen
First, you need to remember why you need an apron in this room.
The cladding protects the wall from oil drops that “shoot” during cooking, as well as from other contaminants.
But the material itself needs to be wiped frequently to remove traces of grease.
The desired result is achieved quickly and easily if the tiles are large.
But it is much more difficult to restore the cleanliness of small tiles. The reason is simple: a huge number of seams and small details.
This is why Yulia Tychino recommends replacing small tiles or mosaics in the kitchen with large tiles.
Following this recommendation will make it much easier to tidy up your space.
